Re: Not so good transaction support

> 1. Please explain the above in detail.

It depends on the type of table you're using.  If you're using a table type
that only supports table-level locking, then each transaction is isolated by
being suspended until the previous transaction is done.  This is slower
if you do a lot of longer transactions but quite safe.

This is true, for some table types -- for others, you'll find things work
as you expected -- see InnoDB or that other table type (Gemini :-).

What you are trying to perform is doable with InnoDB table handler.

Unlike BDB, InnoDB has multi-versioning and consistent reads.
